How does body blade massage work?
The massage is performed using blades with a smooth, curved surface, which the specialist glides over the skin at different angles — along muscle fibers and fascia. This makes it possible to work precisely and gently with deep body structures without causing pain or discomfort. According to studies, fascial techniques similar to blade massage reduce back pain in 75% of patients after 3–4 sessions.
After the session, you will feel lightness in the body, reduced pain and tension, improved tone, and a new level of inner balance.

How does a blade massage session take place?
- Skin preparation: The specialist begins with manual techniques on dry skin to activate circulation and prepare the tissues, then moves on to massage using oil — for deeper warming of the skin, fascia, and muscles, and to increase tissue sensitivity to further work.
- Assessment: Using the blade, a visual and tactile assessment is carried out to identify areas of muscle spasms or stagnation.
- Work on problem areas: The massage therapist uses blades at different angles, allowing work on both superficial tissues and deeper layers, including fascia and muscle structures.
- Final stage: At the end of the session, the therapist works through the main areas of the body to consolidate the results and bring the tissues into a state of relaxation.
Recommended course of procedures:
1–3 sessions per week, depending on individual needs
Course: 10–12 sessions
*Sometimes minor bruising may appear after sessions — this is a normal tissue response to deep work.
